VOV.VN - The Vietnam Fisheries Society (VINAFIS) signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the US Soybean Export Council (USSEC) on October 13 in Hanoi to promote sustainable development of Vietnam’s fisheries amid deepening global integration.

Vietnam’s aquatic products are expected to earn about a record US$11 billion from export this year, up 23.8% annually and 22% compared to the plan, said Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Phung Duc Tien.

The south-central province of Binh Dinh is determined to have no local fishing boats violating foreign waters in the next six months before the European Commission (EC) review the “yellow card” against Vietnamese fisheries sector, according to Secretary of the provincial Party Committee Ho Quoc Dung.

VOV.VN - Vietnamese fisheries exports in October soared by 47% to US$918 million compared to the previous month, a figure nearly equivalent to the same period from last year, according to statistics released on November 8 by the Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP).

The Mekong Delta province of Kien Giang is striving to end illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing (IUU) in 2021, as part of the country’s common efforts for the European Commission’s removal of the “yellow card” on Vietnamese fisheries sector.
